Two Teenagers Cited After Incident at Basketball Game Escalates

Oak Creek police cited two teenagers for disorderly conduct Tuesday night after an incident that began at a basketball game in South Milwaukee escalated after the boys left.

According to police reports:

The mother of an 18-year-old man called police about 9:15 p.m., saying her son was chased by a boy with a knife after he got home from the game.

The mom said he was followed home, to the 7600 block of S. Lenox Ave., by a vehicle with five male occupants. One of them got out and chased the boy with a knife, then got back into the car and headed northbound.

Police located the vehicle near the intersection of Drexel and Howell and identified a 17-year-old as the boy who allegedly chased the 18-year-old with a knife.

The 17-year-old told police he and his friends were at a basketball game in South Milwaukee when the 18-year-old made threats he would put him in the hospital.

When they got to the residence, the 18-year-old came out of the house with a baseball bat, the boy told police. At that point, they got back into the car and left, he said.

The 17-year-old admitted to following him home in a "provoking manner."

Both boys were arrested for disorderly conduct and issued citations.
